Rated 4 out of 5 by Laundry queeen from Lights up! After delivery issues with retailer, they allowed me to upgrade washer at their cost to match the model feature of dryer. I was amazed to learn that the washer has a built in auto light into machine AS DOES the dryer. Who can appreciate lights in our machines? ME!!! The one area I'm not sold on is the cycle memory where you have to manually change cycle or you are struggling to get the quickest cold cycle for darks and it doesn't seem to easy to get too. . I like being able to bend into machines and it is nicely lit. The light in the washer will turn off after a short period of time when you air it out to dry when cycle is complete.

Rated 1 out of 5 by dissatisfied 5 from Terrible machine We have only had this machine a few months. We had to special ordered it because we needed a machine big enough to wash comforters in. The drawer that the soap goes in does not fit tight. So periodically - every couple of loads - water leaks out of it and runs down the machine and makes a puddle on the floor. We called the repair man who couldn't get it to do it on the one load he ran through the machine while he was here. So he can't fix it under warranty unless he can get it to do it while he's here. We have to put a towel down on the floor under the front of the machine every time we do laundry in case it leaks.

Rated 2 out of 5 by TeacherLibrarian from Problem: weight distribution I bought this appliance to replace an eight year old “duet.” The “duet” from 2011 was already in the townhome we purchased in 2016. That machine was going on its 3rd repair when we opted to replace rather than repair again because a previous repair had proved expensive (a dispenser motor). When I caved to the new machine, I thought it would solve the problem I had with the old one: sheets or a bathroom rug that bunched up and did not spin dry effectively leaving me to wring the items out in a sink. Well, this has already happened with the new machine although I have yet to investigate a fix, such as putting in a towel to balance the load. That this happens with a king size sheet, though, is disheartening. I feel stuck with another round of Whirlpool appliances that honestly I expect a better performance from, not to mention that when I did call for a repair on the Duet, the sanctioned company in my area is Diamond Factory which I have come to distrust...

Rated 3 out of 5 by janiihd from VERY CONFUSED Just got these to replace our Duets which blew out due to a power surge. The washer is LOUD!! It sounds like someone is banging on a Gong during the wash and spin cycle. I am shocked!! Also, the instructions tell you in one part to push the "Load and Go" to DISABLE the larger dispenser if you just want to add detergent at the top. I have washed several loads now WITHOUT soap because I did not press the "Load and Go" feature because, as it says, you press it to DISABLE THAT FEATURE. Reading in another section of the instructions, it says to press "Load and Go" if you ONLY want it to use the soap from the larger dispenser. THAT makes more sense but WHY does it say both?? SO CONFUSING. I can't believe I did all those loads with NO SOAP!! I don't think I can stand the noise from the washer---it is NERVE WRACKING! Maybe I received a defective one? I've only had this set for less than a week.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AJ jorden from Almost a lemon Our washer broke twice the first month we had it. It only worked for 2 of the first 4 weeks. the appliance store finally came out the second time and said if it broke again they would just replace it. The store known for its service dept took practically an entire week each time to get to our house to fix it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Marie36 from Read until end! Things I hate about this washer, the what to do and how to button features. I hate that I have to hold the start button down for eight to do a countdown to 3 to 1. Then stare at my washer for two full minutes to be sure it actually started. I hate that the cleaner filter hose is extremely short and hard to pre-drain to finish cleaning the gunk catcher basket! I love that it holds 42 loads of laundry detergent in the loading go detergent drawer. I originally bought this washer model to apparently laugh at myself! The load and go feature I desired for the purpose of my husband washing his work clothes, because he tend to put the detergent in the wrong location 85% of the time. So nothing seemed clean to me. He’s probably use this new washer twice in eight months. My husband tends to leave cash in his pockets so I basically get a treat when I wash his clothes LOL! My current problem with this washer is that my load and go container is sitting in puddle of old stale water for some unknown reason. I’m currently struggling at removing the bottom Drawer completely out so I can bleach clean it thoroughly, and make life cleaning though filter trap a little easier since it’s located behind the pull out load and go drawer. Now I do this monthly and I still have yet to figure out how to remove the drawer completely. So it’s a consistent reach behind the drawer in a tight area drain the little black hose on a towel and pray it doesn’t go too far under the washer. I mean seriously who designed you cleaner hose and trap behind a drawer that you can’t remove so you’re forced to drain the trap on a towel and risk ruining the floors in your house?

Rated 3 out of 5 by janiihd from Nice Machine but Very Loud I love the features on this machine but the manual of instructions is VERY confusing concerning the "Load and Go" feature. Also, when the machine is on spin cycle it sounds like someone is hitting a Gong! Weird!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gaag from It’s extremly quiet. Gets clothes extremely clean. I’ve had the pair for a few days and I love it. I had the first whirlpool front loader from 16 years ago! This one is soooo quiet and I love the all the load options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary Susan from Quiet! I've had this machine for two weeks. Still getting familiar with all of the wash choices but love it so far. Best feature is the Load & Go option. Unlike a previous reviewer, this machine is much quieter than my previous 20-year old Whirlpool Washer.
